@danawessel.bsky.social So much terrible in the world right now, but here's a Dominican duck family out for a swim in the resort "lake".

The canned response from the @washingtonpost.com when you tell them you've cancelled your subscription. Today's layoffs do none of this.

We celebrate the return of Liam & his father Adrian, while also knowing that ICE has been as active as ever staging at Powderhorn & Folwell park today. Rent is due today for so many families and we have a big need at NE middle. Donate to NE middle school families in need: givebutter.com/neschool

Filming the police is not only a constitutional right, it’s a societal obligation. Signed, a police officer.

Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

Damn the soulless Nazis of Trumpism straight to Hell.

Um. Holy shit? 🇨🇦

This is a very scary thread, but now that everything's all right, I think it's everyone's duty to convince this person they never actually woke up.

Please check in with your tap water temperature readings. Valid submissions must include your neighborhood and a photo of a thermometer under your tap.

I’m not to blame but I am responsible. I wrote this during the protests & riots after the murder of George Floyd. What I knew then is what I know now: that we all matter or none of us do. Please read this. And act accordingly. Courage. Use it. www.sunjournal.com/2020/06/07/i...

For you out of towners, I need to point out: ❄️ Powderhorn Park is in the center of one area of recent heavy ICE activity ❄️ It’s right by where Renee Good was murdered ❄️ With the wind, it’s a bit cold today in Minneapolis And yet South Minneapolis, doing its thing!

Running Nazis out of town and then whimsical cardboard sleds at Powderhorn - you just have to love Minneapolis.

ICE was just going up & down central getting out their cars with pepper spray and guns, but we had so many legal observers it made a huge difference. If you’re vulnerable at all we are asking you stay inside today & remember don’t open your door without seeing a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

Disappointed none of the stories on the front page of today's @pioneerpress.bsky.social are by a local staff writer, especially the top story on the ICEout protests. At least a couple of photos are from their photog John Autey.

The question if a police shooting is justifiable is just 1 question to ask. 1st: this wasn’t justifiable. But for me the real question is was it inevitable. As police, we must do everything we can to avoid deadly force. Many times the suspect makes it inevitable. Not in this case

“We can clearly see that the agent is NOT being struck by the SUV…”

Happy New Year!

Impulse bought a whole pomegranate today. It's been many years since I busted one open instead of buying the cheater arils. They're so odd inside. Why are pomegranates?

Stopped by to say hi to Jakob.

Time for a traditional Christmas movie.

I'm definitely going to be saved.

Not everyday you see a member of The New Standards playing at @mspairport.bsky.social! Very nice musical surprise, especially since we missed the holiday show.

The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go. Eerily accurate... Government invades a home to kidnap an immigrant and those who helped him. Fortunately, he makes it home. Fingers crossed for all of us.

Why, yes, we did spend the weekend in a non-allocation state. What gave it away?

Guess this means I have to buy a jersey. #IYKYK

Not trying to call out Tony & Devin here, but they are (somewhat confidently) reinforcing a very common, but exactly wrong myth about Section 230 and being a "publisher." Let's use this as an opportunity to do some educating around Section 230 and the idea of being "a publisher."

Seeing Tremors as an after-close viewing when I worked at an AMC in high school. No idea what it was about beforehand. On Thurs nights ushers had to build up prints from reel canisters. Each movie had to be screened for out of frame splices. Just a bunch of teenagers having fun with Kevin and Reba.

Looked it up, both United and Anthem (now called Elevance) cover more than 44m people. Have they driven down those prices by sheer might Rand? Idiot.

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t

I'm not sure the rabbits will appreciate you sitting on the food you're supposed to share with them. 🐿

What is the farthest north and south you have ever been? North: Skardsviti Lighthouse, Iceland South: Cusco, Peru Made it to both as an adult with my mom. Grateful for my love of travel from her and her mom.

If you're looking for a festive spot for a holiday bite, I know a spot. Nico's was over the top.

Got Red Cross Pac-Man socks for donating blood today. Unclear to me why Pac-Man, but they're fun.

Isn't that a movie... (seriously though, hope it's nothing bad)

Mauer Chevrolet is a sponsor. They played Joe's walk-up music when the ad was on the scoreboard. 😂😂😂 ##BooMauer

This place still has its new car smell. #RollToms

/8 There is no remotely plausible argument that it’s treason or sedition to point out that the military need not follow illegal orders. It is unquestionably protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

It's always #soupszn, but especially today.

Today's Wordle answer can't be coincidence, right?

Shelton can stay. He doesn't appreciate the spotted runner in extras. #MNTwins #FanForum

Northern lights for the 3rd time in my life. So cool.

Sad to see Tommy go. At least Atlanta is in North Port for spring training so he can still golf with @sdbuhr.bsky.social. 😉

On this Veterans Day, more than any before, let us remember the valiant service of Black, Hispanic, Navajo, Japanese and other non-white Americans who fought bravely for the ideals of a country that failed to live up to them, and whose legacy a racist GOP is desperately trying to erase.
